I got in my new bz high style side skirts and i saw a few forums on riveting them on. My question is do you use a special rivet gun or a special kind of rivets to do this? My other question is i have to pre drill the holes before i rivet them right?
 
Don't use rivets... if you ever change your mind, they'll be a royal b**** to get off. I'd stick with a few well placed sheetmetal screws.

But to answer your 2nd question, yes, pre-drill the holes.
 
Rivets are not bad at all to get out if you use the aluminum ones. If you buy say 1/8", you take a drillbit of the same size and drill it out. When I use aluminum rivets I dont have to even put pressure on the drill. Ive drilled out stainless ones too but they require pressure. Either way, rivets arent that bad to remove unless I guess you have 100 of them:D
